Annual leave 2011 (1): Employers look to compete on annual leave offerings

AnnualLeave1WhyHolidayChangePlanned.jpgWith pay awards stuck below inflation as protracted and painful economic recovery continues, some employers are looking to increase their annual leave offering as a way to remain competitive.

This is among the key findings of 2011 benchmarking research on annual leave entitlements from XpertHR.

Four-fifths of UK employers say they are planning to make changes in relation to holiday entitlement (XpertHR Benchmarking subscription required). Among this group, two-thirds are taking such action so as to be competitive (XpertHR Benchmarking subscription required) and/or to demonstrate good practice. In contrast, only one in 20 is planning to change annual leave entitlements to meet statutory minimum requirements.

Subscribers to XpertHR Benchmarking can drill down into the complete benchmarking data from the 2011 XpertHR Benchmarking survey on annual leave arrangements.

The survey is based on responses from 335 organisations with a combined workforce of 461,513 employees, comprising a total of 653 employee groups.
